London, Aug 9 (IANS) Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell is reportedly creating a new group to follow in the footsteps of the pop-band.

The star, who shot to fame in the 1990s as a member of the Spice Girls along with bandmates Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm, has now recruited five wannabe pop stars to form a similar group, reports dailystar.co.uk.

According to reports, several record labels bosses are already said to be interested in signing Halliwell’s band.

‘This is very exciting for her. She’s been painstakingly putting together the new band. She wants to combine the energy and drive of the Spice Girls,’ said a source. ‘She’s been keeping it quiet because she doesn’t want to jinx anything but she has told the other girls and they are very supportive.’
